Grace Family Church Opens Its Clearwater Location To The Neighborhood On Sunday Aug 14

Clearwater will be GFC’s seventh location, with a local presence in several Tampa neighborhoods: Carrollwood, Land O Lakes, Lutz, South Tampa, Temple Terrace, and Ybor. As the Clearwater location is in its infancy stages, church members and staff have been hard at work making connections in the area and spreading the word.
The excitement of fresh beginnings has been met with plenty of plans for the new location. Aug. 14 marks the kick-off to new fall programming for the whole family at the church. This includes contemporary worship music led by a team of talented musicians and a message that is both practical and thought-provoking.
GFC also provides engaging ministry programs for all kids, ranging in age from infancy to 18 years old. These programs aim to empower families by equipping kids with resources and a supportive community where they can thrive. Whether through games, music, humor, or dialogue, GFC strives to be a place where kids can feel safe and comfortable and get answers to some of their most complicated questions.
Grace Family Church Will Celebrate Its 25th Anniversary This Sunday At Raymond James Stadium
As a teen quarterback at Land O’ Lakes High School, Drew Weatherford inspired his teammates on and off the field.
Weatherford, who went on to play football at Florida State University, accepted Christ as his savior at age 16.
When fellow Land O’ Lakes Gators saw a positive change in Weatherford, many began attending services with him at Grace Family Church in Tampa.
Weatherford grew up with founding pastor Craig Altman’s son Brent and often the visited the church before becoming a regular member in his mid teens.
“Pastor Craig was my peewee football coach,” Weatherford said. “After games, I would spend the night at the Altman’s house and go to church with them in the morning. I never could have imagined then, sitting in their small congregation, what the church would become.”
On Sunday, Grace Family Church will celebrate its 25th anniversary at Raymond James Stadium.
The church, which now operates 5 campuses and cites more than 20,000 members, invites the public to come tailgate and learn a little something about Jesus.
A come as you are approach and disinterest in serving only ‘religious’ people propelled Grace to it’s near megachurch status, Altman said.
The church has sites in Lutz, Temple Terrace, South Tampa, Waters Avenue and Ybor City. A Pasco county campus is under development in Land O’Lakes.
Members from all five Grace campuses, including its main building on Van Dyke Road, will gather at Raymond James.
“We have children dragging their parents to church,” he said.
